Abstract

The work verifies and analyzes the effects of Constitutional Amendment nº 97/2017, which, among other devices, put an end to party coalitions in the elections for proportional positions (councilmen, state, district and federal deputies). The object of study is the City Council of Nova Andradina - MS, in the 2020 municipal elections, the first under the new text. The aim is to find out how the proposition of diffuse and collective public policies related to the party program of each congressman began to proceed, based on the new compositions of parliament resulting from the change in the norm. The research is based on the assumption that the measure, among other aspects, made it possible for the parties to reinforce their role as an author of proposals aligned with their respective statutes, materialized in the mandate of the elected representatives, since, in parallel from now on, all alternates must, obligatorily, belong to the same party as the elected politician, as a way of following up on the political project chosen by the voters, should they take over, in addition to highlighting the role of the political party not only in the electoral process, but also in the exercise of the mandate. In view of this, we analyze whether the objectives of the new constitutional text were achieved and whether there is a correlation of proposals aligned between parliamentarians and their parties in the field of diffuse and collective rights, in addition to explaining other implications, such as the plurality of subtitles and gender in the composition of the parliament in question.
